New Details - Tribute to the Troops Arena & More!

[Smacktalks]

GamingRing recently flew out to California to attend an SvR 2009 press conference, tried out the beginning of John Cena's Road to WrestleMania and tried out the Nintendo Wii & DS versions of the game.

Some Notes:

- The Locker Room is different depending on your chosen Superstar.

- The Tribute to the Troops Arena is in, with fans wearing Army Suits around the ring.

- The WII version and the interactive cutscenes were done really well.

- The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will feature 66 playable superstars.

- The DS version will feature over 20 superstars.

- There is no Create-A-Belt feature this year.

- THQ may be looking at allowing gamers to make their own titantrons in future editions.

- The Wrestlemania 24 level has a room and is not outdoors.

- Trophy support does not look likely this year for the PS3.

Here's what GamingRing had to say:

Gaming Ring flew out to California to attend an THQ sponsored WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009 preview event for the media and we had the opportunity to play the first section of John Cenas Road to Wrestlemania storyline. Here is what we saw. The first thing we saw was John Cena opening up Raw with a in-ring promo. Basically he dedicated this weeks match against Mr Kennedy to his friends serving in the armed forces. He mentions that he is particularly interested in catching up with a armed service member named

I'm pretty impressed with the Tribue to the Troops arena. They did a great thing eliminating the useless features like GM Mode, and Create a Championship for better ones. 66 plyable superstars is pretty damn good also.

From there you take on MVP and in the locker room you find out that you have to make the highest paid WWE Superstar on Smackdown to beat the challenge. The Tribute to the troops arena is very nicely done. Its a outdoor arena with all of the fans around ringside and in the “arena” wearing army uniforms. Off in the distance you can see tanks, and humvees.

After beating MVP by submission, you will unlock the Tribute to Troops arena to be used in all of the other modes.

How many playable superstars are on ps2?.
